   I coded my own JSON translation tool to easily localize my side project▲43

   Hi HN, I’m Joan, the developer of Quicklang. I made this app to easily translate and keep in sync all my localization JSON files for my side projects. While searching online for a similar tool, I only found enterprise solutions that do not allow direct editing of JSON files.

    Hey HN! Erik here from banana.dev We’ve trained a small(ish) language model on structured extraction, and today we’re launching a playground for it at https://anythingtojson.com. Give it a try! This model continues our work on structured generation, following last week’s launch of Fructose[1], a python client for strongly-typed LLM responses. There seem to be two distinct halves of the problem intended to be solved by Fructose and structured generation: 1. the reasoning ability of the model, such as performing chain of thought, creative acts, and natural language tasks.
